A Quote by E. B. White

if the world were merely seductive, that would be easy.
if the world were merely challenging, that would be no problem.
but i arise in the morning torn between a desire to change the world and a desire to enjoy the world.
this makes it very hard to plan the day.

I just had to dig for this reference. It is from E.B. White: Notes and Comment by Author from the July 11, 1969 New York Times. The article author is Israel Shenkar.
